As far as I can understand from the picture, it's something superficial. The nearby skin is also affected. An online consultation or a dermatological opinion is appreciated.
Next Steps
1. Keep the neck area dry. 2. Tb. Azithro 500- 1tab before sleep for 3 days 3. Some fusidic acid oint should serve the purpose.
